The rematch seven years in the making is finally ready for showtime. 104 pay-per-view events after their first match, middleweight champion Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson are set to do it again in England.
Henderson topped Bisping the last time, landing one of the most devastating knockouts in UFC history with an overhand left that dropped the Brit immediately. Bisping says it was one lucky punch, but we'll see on Saturday if history repeats itself.
Bisping is riding a four-fight winning streak after topping Luke Rockhold for the belt in June, getting revenge for his last loss in 2014 where Rockhold locked in a submission victory. Meanwhile, Henderson is 2-3 in his last five, but scored a brilliant knockout at UFC 199 of Hector Lombard.
It all gets started at 10 p.m. ET on UFC PPV despite taking place in England. You can purchase the event through your local cable provider on television. You can also buy it for your set top device or computer through UFC.TV. Fox Sports 1 will also air a four-fight prelim card beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
Bisping comes into this bout as a favorite (-210) over the 46-year-old Henderson (+180). Here's how the full odds shake out from UFC.com.
